Production
The first game was one of the first commercially sold logic games sold in Slovakia.[2] It was a remake of the 1994 game created by programmers David Durčák and Marian Ferko in 1994 for ZX Spectrum. The duo would found Cauldron the following year.[2]
Despite the success of the first game, there wasn't an official sequel by Cauldron. A few years later, Alfaline would created an unofficial and unpublished sequel in 1997.[3] Meanwhile, Quadrax III would become the first public successor in 2000.[1] The fourth game was released in 2008.[1]
